My first impression of the surname mobility research (incidentally, I heard it was reproduced based on university data from other countries) was that it was strong evidence of the heritability of social status / social class, but not necessarily evidence of genetic heritability.
Sure, but the discussion of the question ‘do the rich outreproduce the poor’ doesn’t necessarily entail that either. The surname research could show outreproducing (rich surnames becoming progressively overrepresented over time) but I’m not sure whether this overlaps or is disjunct or identical to the will data used in AFTA.
